Yikes hopefully mine isn't as bad as that. Those guys were making it sound like your engine was gonna blow even after the gasket change. As long as there's no metal pieces in the oil, I'm pretty sure we should be good for while.

Get the galley gaskets in yet? Interested in what the new pressure is.

I ordered the EPS gaskets and OEM timing kit from Z1 on Tuesday. Z1 delivery got pushed from Monday to Wednesday and looks like EPS hasn't even shipped yet.
Asked EPS for an update. Might cancel and overnight it from Nisformance

Gaskets were blown as expected. I was too busy to make it to the shop for pics though. Timing chains were nice and tight but it was open anyway so I had them pull rocker covers and plenum to do all 3, bringing my labor cost from 1700 to 2400. Should be done tomorrow.

Edit: mechanic took a pic and part of the bigger gasket was broken and you could see the brown marks where it was seeping through.
